CLOUD (WJON News) -- Young people interested in a career in law enforcement are encouraged to sign up for the Stearns County Sheriff's Office Explorer Program. I was in it from when I was a freshman in high school, right up to when I turned 21 at St. Soyka says people enrolled in the Explorer Program have doors open for them. For instance, I was in it during high school, and I ultimately got hired here by the sheriff's office to work in our water patrol and parks division in high school and college. Soyka says at one point about 64 percent of the staff at the Stearns County Sheriff's Office came from the Explorer Program.
